Photopoems

Moved by Diana Khoi Nguyen’s photopoems in the poetry collection Ghost Of, which I analyzed in depth in the second chapter of my senior thesis, I have created my own photopoems. In Photoshop, I manipulated my film photos to insert my own poems.

“Yesterday I Made A Playlist For You” 1.5.23

“phone calls under the gingko tree” 11.22.22

“mother” photopoem 11.15.22

I wrote this poem after the Atlanta shooting in March 2021, in an attempt to process my own emotions to the event.
